Happy Happy Holidays! We’re getting into the spirit a little early — and very much looking forward to seeing many of you tomorrow night for the second annual SaraBozich.com Holiday Party at The Vineyard & Brewery at Hershey. We even have a few tickets left! You can try to win them this morning or tomorrow morning on The River 97.3 — or simply click here to purchase.
On Saturday, I’ll be slinging sauce again at the Capital City Mall. Stop by the Torchbearer Sauces kiosk, and I’ll happily help you put together the perfect gift set.
Because we can’t, we don’t and we won’t stop, Andy and I are heading to Happy Valley on Sunday to cheer on Penn State Wrestling as they take on rival Pitt in the sold-out Bryce Jordan Center. Yeah, it’s a big match.
Fear not, there is plenty to do at home, both holiday themed and not. Just keep reading.
Need more inspiration? Tune in tomorrow morning at 7:10 a.m. to The Rock’n Roll Breakfast on The River 97.3 for “Sara’s Weekend Picks.”
